Male sexual dysfunctions are more prevalent with aging. With increasing evidence about the impact of various diets on chronic diseases, there is a growing interest in establishing an association between various diets and men’s health and sexual dysfunction. Thirteen studies on diet and erectile dysfunction and 15 studies on diet and #testosterone levels were reviewed, including observational studies and randomized controlled trials. Evidence exists demonstrating the association between various diets and men’s sexual health. Erectile dysfunction appears to lessen in men adhering to the Mediterranean diet. Obese and #overweight men who lose weight through low-fat, low-calorie diets seem to have improvements in their erectile function and testosterone levels. Furthermore, a Western diet is associated with lower semen quality. Future prospective and randomized controlled trials are necessary to establish the benefit of diet and dietary patterns on men’s sexual health.
